Anyone who doesn't understand how big of a joke the NCAA is at this point is either under the age of 12 or an idiot.

Anyone who doesn't understand how big of a joke the NCAA is at this point is either under the age of 12 or an idiot.

To go along with this, various other NCAA violations over the years:

Dan Issel (best Kentucky Wildcat in history) was at a camp in Denver, where he was GM of the Denver Nuggets at the time and held no position at UK other than alumnus.

High school player: "Did you like UK?"

Issel: "Yeah it was great."

That's a violation.


Ball player is walking around campus in a severe thunderstorm/tornado watch. Coach gives him a ride back to his dorm instead of having him walk over a mile IN A TORNADO WATCH.

That's a violation.



Coach bought a player a pizza because his food money hadn't kicked in yet and the player hadn't eaten in two days.

That's a violation.



Oklahoma won a bowl game and was given a banquet. The players were told to go up and get more food. The NCAA said that they received "improper benefits" by having an extra plate of pasta and had to make it right by making a charitable donation equal to the value of the pasta, which was less than $20 combined between the two of them. To avoid looking like two morons donating about $7 each, they made it $25 each out of their own pocket. Over improper pasta benefits.

Meanwhile:

"The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has cleared Michigan State University of any violations stemming from how it has handled sexual assault allegations — including those against disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was sentenced to at least 40 years in prison for sexually assaulting his patients."

And yet...

"A former Michigan State University (MSU) dean has been sentenced...to a maximum of one year in prison on Wednesday after he was found guilty of criminal misconduct in office and two counts of willful neglect of duty.

...

Two other former MSU employees have been charged by the state attorney general's office, including gymnastics coach Kathy Klages -- for lying about her knowledge of complaints about Nassar -- and former university president Lou Anna Simon -- for lying to the police. Those cases are still ongoing. Nassar will spend the rest of his life imprisoned for molesting patients and possessing child pornography. "

But hey, calling a 13 year old girl who dominated the Little League World Series is SERIOUS business...
